Hugo action sketches

Hi ... I accidentally played a lot of ZZZ over the weekend and needed to draw him.

Still working on rewards & comms!!

MVP reward WIP - Imane

might need to edit and fuss over this more later

commission wip - Elyse

Might've leaned too hard into the princess energy with this one ...

small phainon sketch

i'm procrastinating right now haha but all drafts are done, I've met my zine check-in early and I'm now just working on comm/reward lines ✌️✌️the best case scenario is that I can get through all of these comms and rewards before June and maybe I'm delusional but I still think I can do it.

MVP reward WIP - Zoanthia

Trying to work on everything simultaneously... 😭😭 I should show you guys all the drafts in my backlog.

NSFW sketch (phainaxa)

I have another concept for these two but not sure if I'll line it.

Worked on this randomly in between drafting rewards and comms for this month

View Post

Aventurine (crazed) sketch

This was one of the zine pitches that was rejected by the mods but I wanted to work on it on my own time anyway.

Struggled with art block this weekend and all day today (everything I've done looks kinda awful😭) but I'll touch grass tomorrow and hopefully be ready to tackle my actual work in the upcoming week!

Aglanaxa NSFW sketchpage

We're continuing to use the censorship method like this, since I know the 1st image shows up in email notifications. I'll continue to do it this way but I'm also trying to flag this page as being 18+ overall, even though I don't draw explicit content very often!

Working on this sketchpage in addition to the new zine means I don't have much SFW content to show right now ... 😞😞

But by the start of next week I'll be moving forward with comms and rewards, so I hope I have someth...

MVP reward - Narve

This should wrap me up for this month!

General plan for next month :

1. New claim system for MVP rewards

2. Extra commissions (may still go public to fill 1 last slot but still on the fence)

3. Zine work

4. A handful of location concepts for my comic

and then there's 1 or 2 personal/study works I want to squeeze in between all of that, my mind demands it.

Cerces

Every month I try to do some sort of painted study and this was what I squeezed into April.

I'm not really happy with this and there's a lot I would still change but I think I've learned enough from it to move on.

Edit : I lied! Fixed some stuff that was bothering me

View Post

MVP reward - Samira

Part of a portrait series! I do my best to make them look similar but my success varies haha.

Making decent progress on the rest of the rewards but life keeps getting in the way so it's slower than I'd like it to be. Oh well.

Anaxa sketches

Forgot to upload these, I basically gave up on them in favor of completing other work instead πŸ˜…

MVP reward WIP - Jarani

Just realized I've planned all of the headshots this month to be fully front-facing ... I swear it wasn't on purpose.

Should have the colors on all of these finished before the end of the month, so I'd better lock in. There are a few things I'm trying to do on the side but I may have bitten off more than I can chew ... many such cases.

Opening May Commission slots !!

I'll be opening the floor to everyone here before I bother going public on my other social media 😀😀 Basically, I'm saving for a trip later this year so I need to take on some extra work!

Here's my commission information (prices have been slightly adjusted) https://tinyurl.com/b00commission

If you're interested in reserving a slot for next month, please fill out this form to apply! 2025-04-23 17:39:31 +0000 UTC View Post

anaxa sketches again (WIP)

wanted to draw him without the eyepatch ... also designed him a different gun because I realized I would have to crop it out if I drew his normal gun LOL

View Post

MVP reward WIP - Narve (angel)

I won't lie, I struggled with this a bit! Wasn't sure I had the skill to balance the different elements of the design or figure out how to create a focal point in a headshot when the eyes are covered.

2nd image was my first attempt and then I redrew some parts of it to create the 1st image which I think has better structure and looks more accurate to the design of the hair/feathers.

View Post

Anaxa WIP + draft sketch

this perspective was hard ... I'm still not sure I got it to work but maybe I can fix it a little more here and there as I continue with color

View Post

MVP WIP - Samira

I had her drawn originally with a bigger smile but that was before I reworked the shape of her eyes

View Post

Castorice

Just messing around a bit with this one, got a little carried away

View Post

Cerces WIP + draft sketch

this will probably look better with some color just bear with me...

Working on rewards atm, all the sketches are done :)

Emperor approval sketch

Back from my break! And just really wanted to find time to put emperor in this format.

General updates:

  • Planning to get started on patron rewards next week!

  • Will be doing a batch of extra comms in May but I'll talk more about that later.

  • Was busy yesterday planning sketch compositions for a new Aventurine zine piece. Can't show any of the work I'm doing for that yet😭 I'll ask if I can share small cropped WIPs of it on here later though. View Post

2 scrapped sketches

I think I'm discarding both of these ... probably. The first isn't actually as bad as I initially thought.

Might take tomorrow off and recharge because I'm starting to feel a bit stuck and too insecure to commit to any individual drawings. Sucks but it happens.

Patron Update:

I'll be working on rewards by the start of next week! So MVPs please make sure you get back to me with references if you haven't already!&...

kinda NSFW anaxa sketch

I really have no idea why I made this

Castle redesign

Mostly just swapped some colors around and muted his palette. I think something less saturated than the original is more fitting for his motives and personality. It also translates better if I end up doing my whole comic in black+white

Some random thoughts on my design philosophy:

He's got a huge ego about how easy it is for him to blend in and befriend (or manipulate) different types of people so I think even from the start I wanted his colors to feel kind of neutral.

I als...

Castle/Risk sketch

just something small. There are a few other ideas I'd like to mess with before I start to work on rewards and other deadlines for this month.

Emperor sketch timelapse

Uploading this one for free members!

If you like timelapses you can get access to my entire backlog by pledging to the Bigg'ums tier. I can't believe I named it that. Very unserious.

Risk reference

Now that the March deadlines are done I should have a bit of time to go into some OC stuff

can't believe this is the first time I've made a fullbody ref for my main character

View Post

MVP reward - Senna

Okay, that's everything for March! This one will be part of another portrait series so I've put them side by side.

Some plans & general notices :

Next month I'll likely be using rewards to do some minor style experiments, maybe just with colors because I like the way I've been doing lines lately and I think I've been consistent with those. But we'll see how that goes.

I'll also be advertising an extra batch of commissions in April but won'...

screentone/noise study (with my own composition)

Still just trying to learn how to use these new tools and find my own style ... It's hard!

Included the rough undersketch so you can see my messy attempt at learning distorted perspective. I ignored the golden rule of studying where you should really only focus on one thing at a time. Don't overwhelm yourself like I did!
